How to create columns with 13,000 characters in it ?

I am still searching in the google and in forum for a proper solution.

Google says I can have atmost 65,000 characters but mysql is giving errors saying varchar(13000) is too much it is giving error #1074 and saying insted of varchar use BLOB..now how to use BLOB ? I also tried to use TEXT but still same error..

 

Read about the datatypes http://www.mysqlfreaks.com/mysql/manual_Reference.html

varchar is reserved for strings up to 255 characters, so there's no way you can put 13000 in it. Use type TEXT, up to 2^16 chars.

 

yup it's working now actually I was giving something like TEXT(13000) instead of just TEXT
